When the motor yacht
Canim steamed into Philbrook's Boatyard on
her return from an Alaskan cruise, the owner had an
irresistible proposition for the Philbrook's
craftsmen: restore the classic masterpiece of 96
feet, to the original splendor designer Ted Geary
had first envisioned.
The task was to strip away
the existing facade and restore Canim's
original elegance, while also equipping her with
21st century technology.
Upon completion, Philbrook's
tradition of a big family celebration honoring the
yacht was held to celebrate the yard's role in
helping her reclaim her soul.
Designed by Ted Geary as one
of eight ships in her class in 1928-1930, all of
which are still in service. Canim
was built at Lake Union Drydocks, Seattle, WA., in
1930 for Col. A.J. Blethen as a private yacht.
